Students may earn second degrees in some schools and colleges of Temple
University. Students interested in earning a second degree should consult
with the Office of the Dean of the school or college offering the desired
degree.

Schools and colleges may waive up to nine credits of degree requirements
outside the second major for students who already have a bachelor's degree
from Temple University or from another college or university and who desire
a second degree from Temple. This waiver pertains to requirements not
satisfied by credits transferred from other colleges or universities.

Students who hold their first bachelor's degree from Temple are exempted
from courses or course categories required of all undergraduates, such
as non-major Core Curriculum requirements. However, courses accepted in
transfer for a student's first Temple degree may not apply to their second
Temple degree, depending on the second degree requirements.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides the following
rights for students attending Temple University:

The right of a student, with minor limitations, to inspect and review
his or her education records.

The right, with certain exceptions, to prevent disclosure to third
parties of information from his or her education records.

The right to withhold public disclosure of any or all items of so-called
"Directory Information" by written notification to the Office of the
Dean of Students. Under current University policy, the term "Directory
Information" includes a student's name, street address, email
address, confirmation of enrollment status (full-time/part-time),
dates of attendance, degree received, awards received (e.g.,
Dean's List), major field of study, participation in officially recognized
activities and sports and weight and height of members of athletic teams.1

The right to seek the amendment of the content of a student's records
on the grounds that the records are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation
of the student's privacy or other rights.

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education
concerning any alleged failure of Temple University to comply with the
requirements of the Act and of the implementation of Department of Education
regulations.

The procedures for exercising the above rights are explained more fully
in the Temple University Guidelines Pertaining to Confidentiality of Student
Records, copies of which are available in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Included as an addition to the Guidelines is a list of the types and locations
of educational records maintained by the University.

Please note that, in June
2000, the University expanded its designation of directory information
to include those categories in bold typeface. Please further note that,
in compliance with a 1997 federal statute designed to advance military
recruiting, Temple may release dates of birth to the military unless the
student notifies Temple that he or she wishes this information withheld.

To receive credit for courses taken on a non-Temple study abroad program
during the academic year or summer sessions, matriculated students in
good academic standing are required to discuss their study abroad plans
with their academic adviser, have the International Programs Office endorse
the chosen study abroad program, and seek final written approval from
their school or college advising office. Students should obtain the Study
Abroad Approval form from their adviser or the International Programs
Office, and during the semester prior to study abroad, fill out the form
and obtain the appropriate signatures.

Permission to study abroad is rescinded if the studentís GPA falls below
2.0, or the student is placed on academic warning or probation. As with
all courses accepted in transfer, only a grade of C- of higher is acceptable;
an official transcript must be forwarded to the studentís advising office
before the beginning of the following semester. 30 of the studentís last
45 credits must be taken at Temple University.

A student's academic history is contained in a transcript, which is maintained
by the Office of Student Academic Records.

Official transcripts are issued upon the written request of the student,
carry the seal of the Director of the Office of Academic Records, and
are usually sent directly to another educational institution or a potential
employer. The fee is $6.00.

Official transcripts may also be issued directly to the student but
will be identified with information that will indicate to the reader (whether
a potential employer or another educational institution) that it was so
issued.

A transcript is considered correct and final one calendar year after
it is issued. If a student identifies an error, the Office of Student
Academic Records must be notified in writing within one calendar year.
See the Office of Student Academic Records webpages for more details
(http://www.temple.edu/registrar/).

Intra-University Transfer (IUT) denotes a student's movement from one
academic unit within the University to another and/or from one campus
to another.

Transfer between academic units is not automatic. If students decide
to earn their degrees in an academic unit other than the one in which
they are matriculated, they must make application for the transfer and
can do so at anytime except the months of January and August.

The Intra-University Transfer form can be picked up at any adviser center
or dean's office. Students then submit the form to the college to which
they wish to transfer. The student will be notified of the decision of
the office of the dean of the proposed college.

Students may initiate transfer from one college of the University to
another if they are in good academic standing, holding a minimum cumulative
GPA of 2.0. Higher averages are required by:

Allied Health (2.5-3.0, depending on program)

Tyler School of Art (2.5)

Fox School of Business and Management (2.0-2.3, depending on number of credits completed)

Education (2.5)

Engineering (2.5-3.0, depending on program)

Pharmacy (2.75)

Tourism and Hospitality Management (2.3)

In addition to minimum grade point average requirements for Intra-University
Transfer students, the Tyler School of Art has portfolio requirements.
The Esther Boyer College of Music and Department of Dance have audition
requirements.

Temple University accepts all college-level liberal arts courses beyond
the developmental level. These courses must have been completed with a grade
of C- or better, and taken at an accredited institution. Whenever possible, credit is allowed for courses completed more than
10 years before the date of admission. See Undergraduate
Admissions/Transfer Admissions.

Evaluation of transfer credits is based on a student's major, and the
student's Temple school/college makes the final determination of which transfer credits are applicable to the
student's degree program. Transfer evaluations may change for
students who change majors.

To earn a degree from Temple, students must complete at least 30 hours
of the last 45 semester hours as a matriculated student at Temple,
fulfill all university requirements, and fulfill all of the degree requirements
of the Temple college or school in which they are enrolled, as approved
by the dean of that school.

To graduate from Temple with Honors, students must complete "at
least their last 60 hours toward their degrees in residence as
matriculated students at Temple University." See Honors.

Advanced Placement and College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
credits, and courses taken as a non-matriculated student at Temple, are
posted on a student's record as transfer credit, but do not always count
as transfer credits for determining a student's eligibility for the 45+
Transfer Core. See 45+
Transfer Core.

The number of credits that can be transferred into Temple varies with
the date of a student's admission to Temple:

Students matriculating at Temple before fall 1998: The number
of credits that students can transfer from a four-year institution depends
on their declared Temple major. The maximum number of semester hours
that will be accepted in transfer from a two-year institution or a combination
of all two-year institutions attended is 64, whether earned prior to
or following credits earned at a four-year institution.

Students matriculating at Temple in fall 1998 and after: The
number of credits that students can transfer from another institution
(two- and four-year) depends on their declared Temple major. This policy may
not be applied retroactively to students who matriculated
at Temple before that semester.

Official enrollment in a course is the result of tuition payment and
confirmation. Undergraduate part-time tuition is assessed on a semester
hour basis. Most full-time undergraduate students are charged a flat rate
for 12-17 semester hours and per credit hour for each credit over 17.

Exceptions

Full-time undergraduate students in the College of Allied Health
Professions and the Tyler School of Art are charged a flat rate for
12-18 semester hours and per credit hour for each credit over 18.

Full-time undergraduate students in the School of Pharmacy are charged
a flat rate for 12-19 semester hours and per credit hour for each credit
over 19.

WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
Withdrawal from a course is accomplished with a Schedule Revision (Drop/Add)
form, processed through a registration office. During the first two weeks
of the semester, students may withdraw with no record of the class appearing
on their transcripts. During weeks three through six, students may withdraw
with an adviser's signature, but the course remains on the transcript
with a notation of "W."

After week six, students may withdraw from classes with appropriate signatures,
usually those of the instructor, the adviser, and the Dean's designate.
The course will be recorded on the transcript with the instructor's notation
of "W," indicating that the student withdrew appropriately and had a passing
grade, or a "WF," indicating that the student withdrew with a failing
grade. After week twelve, students may not withdraw from courses. See
Academic Calendar.

Exceptions--Students may not withdraw from Mathematics 0015 unless
they are withdrawing from the University.

COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL POLICY
A student may withdraw from the University by filing an official withdrawal
with the approval of the Dean of his or her college. The Dean shall determine
whether there is legitimate reason for withdrawal with grades of W in
all courses in which the student is enrolled, consulting with the instructors
when necessary. The student should present the approved official withdrawal form to his/her
campus registration office.

Refunds
Complete refund of tuition or cancellation of tuition charges will
be made only if the withdrawal form is processed by the end of the second
week of classes of the fall and spring semesters or by the third day
of summer sessions.

Students withdrawing after these periods are responsible for payment
of all charges incurred. No refund or adjustments of charges will be
made for withdrawals after these periods unless specified under the
University's refund policy.
